Case: EBD in the regular ed classroom
A student who was adopted at birth recently found out that he was adopted and has used this as an excuse to act out in every area of his life. He has been classified as EBD and has recently started going back to counseling outside of the school building. When his teacher asks him a simple math question he gets angry, throws the book across the room and curses the teacher out. In a self-contained classroom this behavior is more manageable, but in a regular education classroom it becomes a huge disruption. What are some ways of effectively dealing with this EBD child who struggles to understand his actions are unwanted and unwelcomed by the teacher and the other students in the room?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I am experiencing this issue right now actually. What I do is work very closely with the student's case manager, counseling department, and administration to develop strategies for the teacher and the student. One strategy we came up with was a weekly behavior chart and checklist system. We made the student responsible for having each teacher sign and indicate how their behavior was for the entire duration of the class. At the end of the week, his home room teacher and/or case manager reviews the behavior chart. If his week was fairly good, he receives a reward such as being class helper or a positive phone call home. I would scale back on tangible rewards such as toys or candy because this can get very old, expensive, and does not promote intrinsic motivation. |
